“Tender noodles are stirred with a comforting blend of margarine, sour cream, egg substitute, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, chunky applesauce, and raisins. Bake over a light sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs and top with cinnamon for a sweet treat.”

I brought this to a Yom Kippur break fast and people couldn't get enough! As suggested, I cut the sugar and used unsweetened apple sauce. My only complaint was the graham cracker crust turned a bit soggy--perhaps something else would have been better texture-wise.

I am new at making kugels, however, I would definitely do this one a little differently next time. I would skip on the sugar. I did not add as much as the recipe called for and it was still too sweet. The applesauce and cinnamon would be enough sweetner if you are like me and not the hugest fan of sugary foods. It smelled really good!

My husband really liked this a lot. I thought it was a bit too sweet. We used sweetened applesauce because I had it on hand, but next time I'll try with unsweetened, and maybe less sugar. A good recipe though, held together nicely.

Reviewer:

This was pretty good. I thought it was more dinner recipe but it was VERY dessert style. It was super yummie. I then substituted some butter and cream cheese for lowfat alternatives and it was still good.

I have never liked noodle puddings, but a favor to my mother inspired me to try this recipe - success! She called it the "best kugel I have ever had in my entire life." I still don't like most kugels, but this has become one of my favorite year-round dishes.
I use only 1 C sugar, 8 oz of chunky applesauce, soaked sultanas (golden raisins), and no graham crackers crumbs. It is far less sweet and creamy than most kugels this way, and it really emphasises the appley-cinnamon flavour.

Just not our cup of tea. Won't be making again. The kids' questioned what it was and only ate one piece of noodle. Not that it was horrible, it was just not that great, though I am sure some people are wowed by it.
